"Perhaps the best part of this package are the several ULTRA RARE games included such as POCKET REVERSI, which fetches hundreds of dollars as according to Edge Retro magazine, possibly less than ten copies ever made it out into the public!!!"

Who are you trying to fool!? :rolleyes:

Edge Retro, issue 1. Read it. While you're at it, look up how much previous copies have sold for and also check out the price guide right here on this site. See, some of us like to know what we are talking about.

I don't think you quite know what you're talking about. I myself have had 3 or 4 Pocket Reversi UK and I've been trying to sell one recently at $250. Minty. No one wants it. I put it on eBay recently and bidding hit about $100.

I've talked with Mayhem, the guy that did the interview for the Edge magazine article and he acknowledges that the "10 copies" thing is inaccurate. He's a member here too, you can ask him. And I wrote the price guide here, just haven't revised it in a while.

Is it rare? Sure. Rarest release? Maybe. But, the hype around that game has been dead for about a year, so selling it for a premium ain't happnin' anymore.

Your auction description is based on an article that was printed 2 years ago, which makes it as accurate as 2-year old UK magazine reading could be. Not your fault, we're just saying that this game isn't what it once was and if you had been following the scene here at NG.com for any period of time you'd see that the demand for this game is dead.

Point taken. I have been out of the scene for a while, so didn't realize. Still it's a pretty rare cart.
